I was kind of late to the game installing this, mainly as a
few have talked about the android auto issues, but Luckily, I have had zero
issues with my android auto connection. Just
a few things to consider though, it could be compatibility with the unit, or cable
connection issues. I had a USB port die
on one of my Axon 7’s that was giving me android Auto issues for some time
before the port finally quit all together. It literally had me believing it was an
android auto issue, until it died. Another
thing to consider, my vehicle with android auto is a 2018 Ram 1500, and it just
had a system update recently, which may have affected Android auto as
well. Don’t know for sure, but putting
that out there, as maybe your cars system needs to be updated? But in my case, it has been working much
better than in Nougat. One of my biggest
annoyances I had, was that I needed to restart the phone after every time I
plug it in to use Android Auto, to get my Dolby Atmos working again, but it is
not an issue in Oreo.

Yo for real, why does wifi keep turning off? My phone at night seems to disconnect from wifi and i have no signal really any other time to the towers so i get no notifications. for example in the morning i'll open my phone and it'll reconnect to wifi. its set to always be on during sleep so whats up?

Try the following:

1: Head to android settings.

2: Go to "Network & internet"

3: Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the screen.

4: Click on "Network settings reset".

Keep in mind that it will also reset any custom APN settings if you had set any,and Bluetooth devices may need to be paired again.

After that, go into your WiFi settings and then open the "Wi-Fi preferences" menu, and make sure that it is set to keep WiFi on during sleep. It should look like the image below.

So no time since update and i already have to reset things. ok . thanks i'll do that since i have to apparently. Wifi calling still doesnt work lol . Anyway thanks

It is mainly to rule out issues such as if a google backup was restored that contained any unwanted WiFi sleep settings.

Yeah figured but this morning i grabbed my phone and when i "woke" it it had zero service. no wifi, no cell ... So what else could it be? i'm going to delete 3C and i cant think of any other apps that could be altering things....

Anyone else having the dial pad cut in half? Not sure what I'm doing, but every now and then, when I open the dialer to dial a number, my dial pad only shows the left half of it. 3, 8 and 9 are gone. I need to close the phone app in order to restore it.

Also, another super annoying thing about this build - the auto portrait mode is over sensitive. I can try and lay my phone down on the desk with 1 degree of tilt and it'll flip the image.

Anyone have issue with text messages not coming through the
car interface after the update? Doesn’t
matter if I am over Bluetooth, or plugged in using Android Auto, I no longer
receive texts in my vehicle. Worked
fine before the update, using both methods.

And now my A7 just locked up for no reason and rebooted. wtf... I exited fb msgr and I think maybe looked at the notification shade and tried clicking on text app in dock and nothing. Its unfortunate but definitely time to get a different device. I HATE the fact that I've only had this A7 for 2 years exactly.... No more updates, no security patches.... disappointing.

I did the update, and changed back after a day. The Sound quality was HORRIBLE. Dolby ATMOS stopped working and would not work again after a reboot. Tried other software that would work in "N", like some equalizers, and it would crap out the sound.

can someone please figure out why wifi disconnects at night while the phones sleep for a while? I cant figure out why. I deleted all do not disturb things and I know wifi is set to be always on but still disconnects when the phones asleep for a while

I use this phone for it's sound and headphone jack almost daily.

Is ZTE going to fix this???

The only way I got Dolby Atmos to work again was to reboot the phone with Dolby Atmos turned on, but still there's a strange static noise coming from the speakers at lower volumes (not hearing it using headphones)

I don't know why the wifi disconnects but my A7 does it too. Not every night but maybe once a week. The same thing if I have wifi calling enabled. But that might happen 2 or 3 times per week. I have Uverse fiber 100/100 and my wifi is strong. So the problem lies with the phone. I swear my A7 is possessed.

Can you guys fix some of the problems like this? Just so its not a "lets leave our customers in the lurch" kind of situation. (pretty sure thats what it'll be lol)
